They play original tunes inspired by the funkiness of life in the mountains, as well as a slew of unique covers guaranteed to make you dance uncontrollably. Doors open at 8 p.m., DIGG kicks off the music at 8:30, and Sneaky Pete goes on at 10:30; there’s no cover. Visit www.barkleyballroom.com for more information.
